Dev, FYI Albert Holmes was introduced at the start of the game and presented the match ball. I thought it might have been a god omen but hey ho.
Think you are correct re Dennis but that doesn't make up for COG being so poor as a partner, they didn't have a bloody clue where each other were and the passing was shocking. IMO neither should be first choice. 4-4-2 looked ok for the first 30mins but when the wheels came off the bus we went flat. Watching a 4 man midfield give the opposition 2/3rds of the pitch then just backing off is not my idea of defending. We gave them time to stroke the ball all over the place with nice build up play. Their first was another keeper howler and the second was stupidity by Weir. Other than that our defence held out well (probably because there was 8 of them) problem was then when we / if we won the ball it was a big boot upfield to nobody and back it came.
